She’s got a crew of girl’s girls
Zeenat Aman just gave us another reason to stan her forever. The veteran actress took to social media on May 29 to pour some serious gratitude on the women who make up her core professional team — the ones who not only make her look like an absolute queen on Instagram but also have her back on set.
In a world where most celebs rely on massive entourages, Zeenat is keeping it intimate and all-female. She posted a heartfelt note talking about how different the industry feels today compared to when she started out five decades ago. “Interviewers almost always ask me about ‘what’s changed’ in the 50 odd years that I’ve been acting. Well, this is it!” she wrote. “You younger folk can’t comprehend how exhilarating it is for me to be on sets where the producers, photographers, make up artists, hair stylists, clothes stylists, directors, dops and more… are women.”
Honestly, that shift is huge — and Zeenat is living for it. She introduced her squad, crediting them for everything from her stunning photoshoots to her social media game that seems to get better with every post.
Millennial-coded? All thanks to her young team
If you’ve ever scrolled through Zeenat’s Instagram and wondered how she’s so effortlessly cool and relatable, she’s got an answer for you. “And in case you’ve been wondering how my handle is so ‘millennial coded’, it’s because I spend so much time with these incredible young women,” she revealed, giving a shout-out to her creative strategist and the rest of her team.
A source close to the actress told us that her team consists of young women who handle her content strategy, styling, makeup, and hair — all bringing fresh, Gen-Z energy to her feed. Over the past few years, Zeenat has built a massive social media following through her personal reflections, industry anecdotes, and candid observations about life and cinema. And now we know the secret sauce.
But it’s not just about the gram. Zeenat also shared how her makeup and hair team go above and beyond their jobs, especially on hectic set days. “They not only know how to make me look my best, they also watch out for me on set!” she wrote. “You see I have no entourage as such, and on occasion production crews need to be reminded that I’m an elderly woman they mustn’t bully.”
We love a queen who knows her worth and has a crew that fights for her.
Gratitude is beautiful, and she’s spreading it
Zeenat described her all-women team as a source of support and positivity, adding that they have played a meaningful role in making her professional life easier and more enjoyable. “Of course I work with a galaxy of other photographers and stylists, but these are the girls I consider to be my core team. The ones who make life easier, brighter and more beautiful, and who have been such an important part of my journey over the past four years,” she wrote.
The actress ended her note with an invitation to her followers: “If you have a female crew who lifts you up, I’d love to read about them in the comments. Be sure to tag them too. Gratitude is a beautiful thing. Here’s to all my girl’s girls.”
And honestly? That’s the kind of energy we need more of. Zeenat Aman continues to be the coolest, most grounded icon in Bollywood — and now we all want to be part of her squad.
